Duke 3D #1
A few days ago, Joe tweeted a very high resolution photo of the original Duke Nukem: Endangered Species Hunter cover artwork from the old 3DR lobby:

I believe this is our best look of this art piece to date which unfortunately may never officially see the light of day, but of course, it's from a heavy angle with a bright flash illuminating the glass frame. Our own LGR/Clint/Phreakindee did his own cleanup of this photo here, but that still looks somewhat skewed and was downscaled by Twitter.
Hence, in the interests of preserving this art, I've attempted my own cleanup of Joe's photo, applying perspective correction to remove the skew and color correction to mitigate the flash while keeping it as high resolution as possible. I did my best to match this cover thumbnail as a reference as I believe that's the best (and only?) officially released version of the art. My end result is a 1236x1399 lossless png which can be downloaded here:

And here's a preview hosted on Imgur (beware that Imgur tends to recompress large files, so use the above link if you want the guaranteed full lossless image):
On a side note, the signature on the image is "Gadino", meaning this cover was made by Victor Gadino who also illustrated the Zero Hour cover and promotional art. I'm clarifying this now as I had erroneously mentioned before that these were made by Robert Grace, the artist of the original DN3D cover.
And I don't mean to toot my own horn, but since it's somewhat related, I also previously did a high resolution scan and cleanup of the Duke Nukem Does the Internet book cover here.
